It's funny--we were all in the shop on Sunday, to get a head start on Vali orders. Which meant I was doing sound checks. Somehow a Magni got mixed in with the Valis. I didn't notice, but when the relay triggered and the music started, I immediately thought, "Hmm, that's a weird-sounding Vali. Kinda 'dead.' But it doesn't ring..." Then my brain kicked in, I looked down and saw the three rows of holes, and started laughing.

Ironically, when I received my Vali, 1.5 years after the quoted post, the box actually contained a first-gen Magni, notwithstanding the Orange "Vali"
sticker on the box. Schiit took care of it, of course, but still kinda twilight zoneish.
